This weekend everybody gains an extra hour of frivolity. Set your clocks back an hour on Sunday morning.
There are now 7 billion people on Planet Earth. The Earth resources do get distributed to more and more people everyday. Looking into my crystal ball, I predict that water quality (and availability) will eventually become more valuable than oil or gas.
Granddaughter Keely had a farewell party before leaving for Cleveland. Nobody moves to Cleveland! It is on the south shore of Lake Erie and it gets lots and lots of snow. She will be counseling needy people on financial matters. I had never heard of Americorp but apparently it is similar in nature to the Peace Corps except it is a “stateside venture”. It sounds like a “cool” endeavor. Maybe we will get a new TV sitcom “Keely in Cleveland”.
I handled the “trick or treat” effort Monday night. We had over 100 ghosts and goblins come to the door. It started with neighborhood kids. By night’s end, we saw many vans and SUV’s pull up at the end of the block and 6-7 kids poured out. They hit every home on the block and then jumped back into the vans and drove off to other neighborhoods. I needed to sample all the different types of candy. I think I experienced a “sugar hangover” the next morning.
When I marry again, I’m going to give the Kim Kardashian sytem a try. I kind of like the concept. Get married. Make it an extravaganza. Maximize TV and magazine coverage. Oh yeah, include your betrothed (new husband Kris). 72 days later, Kim gets to decide this marriage thing isn’t working. File for divorce. How can you make 72 days more exciting? I really think this is a blatant case of a self-serving bitch victimizing a poor unsuspecting bastard.
Then again, maybe it was a brilliant publicity stunt pulled off by two terrific actors?
This weekend, football again takes center stage. My predictions are that the Badgers (back home in Madison) will beat Purdue. The Packers journey to San Diego and will they will lose for the first time this year. Their defense will get picked apart by Phillip Rivers. You didn’t think the Packers would go undefeated did you?
Enjoy the weekend!
Love,
Dad
